Two Points Missed?

A good performance but a disappointing result in my opinion.

Again we showed great grit and determination to pull back from behind but couldn't go the final mile and snatch victory. CC rested Bannan and Fletcher missed the game due to an illness.

We controlled midfield throughout after the opening ten minutes. Hooper led the line well with Reach supporting well.

Pudil got his first goal of the season after great work by Lee & Hooper. After that, Wallace, Hooper, Fessi & Reach all went close.
